7-year old, Kye, apprehends the Joker during his crime fighting adventure

Folks in Arlington may have noticed a caped crusader in their midst on Saturday. Seven-year old resident Kye (his last name wasn't released) is battling leukemia and his one big wish was to star in a Batmanmovie. With the help of the Arlington Police and FireDepartments along with non-profit A Wish with Wings, the young crime fighter’s wish came true.

Alongside actors and a film crew, Kye starred as “Little Batman,” helping an adult Batman foil an attempted bank robbery by the Joker and disarming a bomb planted by The Riddler near City Hall.

“I just want to say -- that was fun,” Kye told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

At the end of the day, he was given a key to the city by Assistant Police Chief James Hawthorne.

You can watch a video of Kye’s crime fighting adventure below.
